Abstract

LaPoint Recycle and Storage (LaPoint) has requested a new AO for its produced water and solids
treatment facility. Produced water is received by truck from oil and gas operations. The water then
undergoes phase separation using tanks and centrifuges for the recovery of oil and condensate. The
remaining water is then discharged into evaporation ponds. Water entering the evaporation ponds
remains until it has been evaporated to the atmosphere. Recovered oil and condensate is stored on site in
tanks prior to being trucked off site for sale. In addition to the produced water operations the facility will
treat contaminated soils received from spills and other oil and gas production operations. The
contaminated soils will be land applied, watered, and tilled regularly to minimize emissions to the
atmosphere.

The source is located in Uintah County, which is an unclassified area for ozone and an attainment area for
all other criteria pollutants. NSPS (40 CFR 60 Subparts A and IIII) and MACT (40 CFR 63 Subparts A
and ZZZZ) regulations apply to this source. NESHAP (40 CFR 61) regulations do not apply to this
source. This facility is considered a minor source, as all VOC and HAP emissions associated with the
evaporation ponds are considered fugitive. The accumulation of point source equipment on-site does not
exceed the 100 tpy criteria emission threshold or the combined HAP limit of 25 tpy or single HAP limit
of 10 tpy and as such Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act does not apply to this source.

The potential emissions, in TPY, will be as follows: PM10 = 0.34, PM2.5 (subset of PM10) = 0.16, NOx =
6.18, SO2=2.04, CO = 2.47, VOC (including VOC listed HAPs) = 223.01, HAPs (including Methanol) =
106.62, Methanol = 101.21, and CO2e = 2,407.

This air quality AO authorizes the project with the following conditions and failure to comply with any of
the conditions may constitute a violation of this order. This AO is issued to, and applies to the following:
